On July 9th, Raglan Ramblers will be visiting Glen Massey for a new walk strolling through the village which had coal-mines near by from 1908 to 1977. A railway linked the coal mines with Huntly and the main trunk railway from 1914 to 1958. Recommended pre-reading is ‘The End of an Era’, which is held in the Raglan library. You’ll need to bring your lunch for this one.
Walks usually start 9am Wednesdays from Wainui Rd car park (next to Raglan Fire Station). There is no membership – the only cost is 10 cents per km to share travel costs. Details from John 825 7866. Check out Raglan Ramblers on Facebook
Each “Rambler” accepts responsibility for any accident or injury received while travelling, or walking over private property. Be prepared – carry enough food, clothing, first aid kit for emergencies and preferably a mobile phone.
